Best distro for a ...

I have an old ppc 7300/200 with 80megs of ram and 2 2gig hard drives. That I
was thinking of ditching since I seldom use it any more. Then it struck me
that it might be a Linux box with a little work.

My question is what version do you guys like for my aged Mac?

Re: Best distro for a ...

either yellowdog or debian. If you are new to Linux, do yellowdog.

Put some more RAM in it in whatever you choose, I'd say 256mb should do.
Debian might be a good choice.
